About this home

Rarely does a classic home of this caliber come to market. Welcome to this breathtaking 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, first-floor, vintage -duplex down condominium situated in a boutique, 4-unit, brick building in the heart of historic Oak Park. Spanning an impressive 2,166 square feet of sublime living space, this residence features a highly flexible floor plan that offers a multitude of lifestyle options while retaining its irreplaceable historic charm. The expansive main level living room is a showstopper, featuring magnificent coffered ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and sweeping, picturesque views of Mills Park. This stunning space opens onto your own private elevated terrace and lush backyard-making it an entertainer's dream. The space connects beautifully with the dining area and updated chef's kitchen, which features premium porcelain and honed granite countertops paired with top-tier stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher, JennAir range, and a Samsung refrigerator. The incredible primary suite serves as a private, standalone retreat. It features a dedicated sitting area anchored by a second magnificent fireplace and is enveloped in classic Craftsman details, including a continuous picture rail and custom built-in quarter-sawn oak bookcases flanking a gorgeous mantle. The fireplace itself is a work of art, framed by stunning stained art glass windows and adorned with historic green relief tiles depicting whimsical scenes of children at play. The main-floor bathroom has been beautifully modernized with a high-end vintage aesthetic. Included are a classic console sink on a polished chrome stand, an elegant glass-enclosed walk-in shower lined with floor-to-ceiling white subway tile, a striking herringbone tile shower floor, and timeless oil-rubbed bronze door hardware that honors the home's historic roots. The lower level provides ultimate versatility, offering incredible options for custom configuration. Perfect as an expansive family room, private guest quarters, or an in-law suite, this fully finished area includes a third fireplace, a convenient dining nook, and a well-equipped kitchenette. This level features a private, comfortable bedroom complete with a deep-set window bringing in natural light, and an unexpectedly large walk-in closet providing exceptional storage. A second full bathroom-tastefully finished with crisp white beadboard wainscoting, a modern floating vanity, and a glass-enclosed shower-completes this lower level. Additional features include central air conditioning, garage parking, and three distinct exterior spaces. Nestled in Oak Park's highly sought-after Pleasant District, you are just steps away from vibrant cafes, renowned restaurants, the Green Line, Metra, and the historic grounds of Mills Park. Don't miss the chance to own an architectural gem with unmatched space and adaptability! The home is in exceptional condition but being offered in as-is condition.
